I built Portpass after getting frustrated with how difficult it was to work out where you can travel when you hold multiple passports, residence permits or visas.
Portpass is a free, private multi-passport travel and residence map for people who hold more than one passport, citizenship, residence permit or visa.
Portpass checks passports, residence permits and visas together, then turns the result into a private, browser-local travel and residence map. Profiles can be saved for later, but only locally on your own device.
Try it out at portpass.world
This is a useful approach to a problem that can make travel planning surprisingly complicated. Bringing citizenship, residence permits and travel documents together in one place could make it much easier for travelers to understand their options before they start planning a trip.
Thanks for featuring the project :)
My pleasure, Erik! I found the concept genuinely interesting, especially the idea of making travel requirements easier to understand. Looking forward to seeing how Portpass develops.
Excellent idea. Always a struggle to find out what you can or cannot do when planning a visit in countries outside of UE. Please mention also Digital Nomad Visa if you can as more and more countries created this kind of tailor-made Visa.
Great idea! Works well and solves my problem.
Hi Travel Massive community,
After months of discussing the idea with travelers, friends and potential users, I’ve just launched the first version of Street Whisperer, a new mobile app designed to make exploring a city more spontaneous and immersive.
The idea is simple:
📍 Walk freely through a city or neighborhood
🏛️ Street Whisperer identifies interesting places around you
🎧 It tells you the stories behind them, primarily through audio
🚶 You keep walking and exploring instead of constantly looking at your phone
The inspiration came from something I often experience while traveling.
I’ll be walking through an unfamiliar neighborhood and wonder:
What happened here?
Why is this building important?
Who lived here?
Is there a story behind this street that I would otherwise completely miss?
Most travel guides work by asking you to decide where you want to go first.
With Street Whisperer, I wanted to explore the opposite approach:
You don’t follow the tour. The tour follows you.
The goal is not to replace traditional guides or curated experiences, but to create another way of discovering a destination — more spontaneous, contextual and compatible with simply wandering around.
AI tools and agents played an important role in building the product, but one thing was particularly important to me: I didn’t want Street Whisperer to become another generic, fully automated “AI travel app”.
The product, UX, positioning and overall experience have been shaped through months of conversations with real people and continuous iteration.
Street Whisperer is now live on the iOS App Store and Android:
Now that the first version is out, I’d especially value feedback from people working in travel, tourism, destination experiences and travel tech.
I’d love to hear your thoughts:
Does this solve a real problem in the traveler experience?
Would you use it while exploring a city independently?
Where do you see the most value: spontaneous discovery, cultural storytelling, local exploration, or something else?
What would make the experience compelling enough to use repeatedly during a trip?
And from an industry perspective, where could you see this concept going?
If you’re willing to test Street Whisperer during your next walk, I’d genuinely love to hear about your experience.
At this stage, feedback and conversations are far more valuable to me than downloads alone.
Thanks to anyone who gives it a try — and I’d be very happy to connect with others working on the future of urban exploration and travel experiences. 🙏
This is a great approach to city discovery. The best travel experiences often happen when you stop following a checklist and start connecting with the stories, people, and culture around you.
thanks a lot Ihsan for your comment :)
Happy to have your feefbacks on my app !
Happy to, Niels! I really like the idea behind it. I’ll take a closer look at the app and would be glad to share some feedback.
I run Echolution, a travel-retail media and data agency, and we've just launched a live Duty-Free Price Index comparing spirits prices across 15 major hub airports (the world's 10 busiest plus key European travel-retail hubs) normalised into USD/EUR/GBP so the prices are genuinely comparable.
First thing that jumped out: the exact same 1L bottle of Smirnoff Vodka costs $10.10 at Dallas/Fort Worth and $22.07 at Lisbon. That's a 119% difference for an identical product. Across the spirits with enough like-for-like coverage, the average cheapest-to-priciest gap between airports is still 58%.
It's a live, filterable directory. Browse by airport, switch currency, or find the cheapest airport for a specific bottle. We're tracking 20 spirits SKUs right now (whisky, vodka, gin, rum, cognac, Irish cream) and plan to expand into other duty-free categories over time.
Take a look at: www.echolution.com/duty-free-price-index/
We would love to get feedback. Is an index like this needed? Useful? If useful what other areas could be added? Features? We plan to cover beauty, fragrance in the coming months.
I would be interested in the price differential between the duty-free price and what the product is available for in the same city at a regular store.
e.g. I'm unlikely to make a purchasing decision based on if the product is cheaper in a city on the other side of the world, as I usually purchase on the arrival side of the trip. So knowing if the product is cheaper at the supermarket would be of more interest to me.
Hope that feedback helps!
Really interesting data. Duty-free is often automatically associated with “better value,” but comparisons like this show why travelers should still check prices before buying. It would also be interesting to see how these differences change across product categories, not just airports.
👋🏻 Hi Travel Massive! I’m Elly, the creator of Odys-say.
I built Odys-say because I wanted ⭐️a tool to help me experience the places I visited more deeply, find inspiration, and discover what they meant to me.⭐️
For me, that begins with hearing about the people whose lives are woven into a place.
What they hoped for, the conflicts they faced, and the choices they made. Understanding their lives opens up a way to connect with the place, and to think about my own life through it.
That’s the experience I wanted to create with Odys-say.
It’s a travel docent (Korean for "guide") for your smartphone, available on iOS and Android.
🔔 Walk near a featured place, and you’ll receive a notification. Tap it, put in your earbuds, and listen to its story while you’re right there.
Each place takes you through three things:
1️⃣ Hear the drama behind the place.
Meet the people whose ambitions, struggles and choices shaped it.
2️⃣ Learn the ideas inside the story.
Understand the beliefs, history and ways of thinking behind what happened.
3️⃣ Keep an insight that’s only yours.
The story ends with a reflection connected to what’s on your mind, whether that’s career and direction, relationships or your sense of self.
My hope is that these encounters with other people’s lives help you find something meaningful in the places you visit, something you can carry into your own life.
👉🏻 You can try your first story free: odyssay.app/store
I’d love to hear how this feels when you try it, especially whether the reflection helps you connect with the place in a more personal way.
I think this is an amazing idea and I really wish you well with it. I love traveling and the stories behind the places is always something that is of interest to me and no doubt most people who travel. I am from Ireland and starting my own business as a private Irish tour guide and host. I love the fact that you have taken the time to understand the stories of each place.. I really love the idea and I will look at the app. Is it available in every country as I am actually traveling to Spain tomorrow. Really well done and I will you every success, very well thought out. Lisa
Thank you so much, Lisa! This really means a lot, especially coming from a fellow storyteller and tour guide. We’re not available everywhere yet, and Spain isn’t covered just yet, but we’re working on expanding to more cities very soon. Wishing you the very best with your own tours in Ireland too!
This is a really interesting approach to travel storytelling. Connecting a place with the human stories, history and culture behind it can completely change how travelers experience a destination. Would love to see how this develops!
Thank you, Ihsan! That’s exactly what I’m hoping to do, help people experience a place differently once they know the human stories behind it. Really appreciate the encouragement!
Great idea to add this additional layer to someones travel experience! Am traveling with my kids to India soon so will try it our there :-)
Thank you, Nynke! 😊 We have several destinations in India, so I’d absolutely love for you to try it while you’re there. Hope it adds something special to the trip with your kids!
Such a great idea. I'm sure it will connect well with travelers because it aligns with what moves and inspires them!
Just curious, how did you build it and find these stories?
Also, how many regions it currently serves?
Wishing you great luck!
Thank you so much!
I research each place from multiple sources, looking especially for the people, choices, conflicts, and stories behind it, then shape those into something you can listen to while actually standing there.
The history and culture come in through those human stories rather than as a list of facts.
Right now, Odys-say covers 11 cities across Europe and Asia, including several in India, and Jaipur is actually coming soon too! I’m gradually expanding from here.
And thank you for the kind words, especially coming from someone creating stories around Jaipur too!
Good to know, Elly. Interesting.
Since I have been part of developing audio route, I think your app functions slightly different - it nudges on proximity. Let me know if I read that right.
Good to see people like you adding more value and offering something new.
I’ve been spending more time looking at Ninh Binh (a province in northern Vietnam) from a tour operator’s perspective, and I’m curious what other travel professionals think.
Trang An, Tam Coc, Mua Cave… the scenery is incredible. But with visitor numbers growing, I wonder:
Are we promoting Ninh Binh in the right way, or are we creating another “must-see” destination where everyone follows the same route, takes the same photos, and leaves?
For me, the more interesting Ninh Binh is not just:
🚣 Trang An boat ride
📸 Mua Cave viewpoint
🏯 Hoa Lu Ancient Capital
It’s the quieter side, cycling through villages, meeting local families, rice fields, traditional food, and simply slowing down.
I’d love to hear from other travel professionals:
What do you think Ninh Binh needs more of? Better visitor management, more authentic experiences, or simply better storytelling?
And if you’ve been there recently, what’s one experience in Ninh Binh that you think international travellers are still missing?
Let’s compare notes. 👇
I think better storytelling can actually be part of visitor management. When a destination is promoted through the same three or four “must-see” spots, visitors naturally concentrate in those places. But if the story expands to local food, villages, traditions, slower experiences and lesser-known areas, tourism can spread more naturally. The goal shouldn’t necessarily be to attract fewer people, but to give people more reasons to explore beyond the same route.
Thank you for your comment. you are right. Story telling can connect to the guest better and it also give the guest more reason to explore Ninh Binh.
Absolutely. I think that’s where destinations like Ninh Binh have a real opportunity — helping visitors understand the stories, local life and culture behind the scenery, rather than simply moving from one photo spot to another. Thanks for sharing your perspective, Natalie!
Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Laura, founder of ELYV8 – a platform connecting travelers with vetted personal trainers offering unique fitness experiences.
After more than three years as a digital nomad, I was constantly looking for ways to stay active without sacrificing the travel experience. Finding high-quality fitness sessions in a new city wasn’t always easy. I wanted more than just another gym – I wanted local experiences, great coaches, and a way to meet like-minded people.
So I built ELYV8.
With ELYV8, travelers can:
🏃 Discover unique fitness experiences in new destinations
🥊 Book everything from beach boxing and bootcamps to yoga in the park, strength training, and more
⭐ Train with vetted fitness professionals
🌍 Stay consistent with their fitness routine while exploring the world
🤝 Meet & connect with locals and fellow travelers through movement
We’re currently live in Barcelona, Valencia, and Lisbon, with more cities coming soon.
We believe your fitness shouldn’t pause when you travel. Our mission is to make high-quality fitness experiences accessible around the world, helping travelers stay active, connected, and inspired through movement.
👉 Learn more at elyv8fit.com
Hi Laura really like this idea and imagine there will be a good market there for it. Nice was to incorporate your interests with travel and meeting like minded people. Well done and wishing you every success on your venture, Lisa
Thanks so much for the positive feedback Lisa! Hope to expand to Dublin at some point as well 🙌
Building software isn't easy. But when you build something that solves your own problem, that's where the real story lives.
If you've ever planned a major holiday, you know the moment excitement turns into mild chaos. For me it hits about three weeks before departure — one spreadsheet with multiple tabs, plus emails from Booking.com, Viator, Get Your Guide, Expedia, and my travel agent, each holding a different piece of the puzzle. One day I had four overseas trips pencilled in and a travel inbox in full revolt as I tried to file each booking in its own folder.
I'm new to travelling and new to the travel sector, but not to software. I spent 35 years writing it and ran a boutique ERP provider handling inventory, HR, and P&L. What did I know about travel planning? Nothing. But I know how software should work and how to look after the people who use it.
So I ditched the spreadsheet and went looking. I tried the popular products — TripIt, Wanderlog — and some lesser-known ones. None let me plan the way I actually think.
Case in point. My next trip is "Europe November 2026," destinations Budapest, Vienna, Prague. Every product wanted a single destination first — declare "Budapest 2026," then somehow bolt the other cities on. That's backwards.
Hotels. I'm not a travel agent — I don't count nights, I count days, arrival and departure included. Three nights to you is four days to me.
Flights. You can't fly direct out of Australia; there's always a stopover and a plane change, so I needed multiple airports and cities. And I like to map it — but "Charleston" exists in Africa, the USA, and Europe. So I use IATA codes, and it maps perfectly every time.
Cruises. Try one on a spreadsheet: the sailing itself, embarkation and disembarkation dates, ports of call in between, tours, sea days, formal nights, what to wear.
So I built a simple tool to solve my own problem. I call it The Travel Planner — a web app my customers subscribe to. Here's what it does today, with more on the way:
- Cost tracking — per item, in groups, or a mix, set up your way
- DIR (Document to Itinerary Reader) — turns a document straight into your itinerary
- Document wallet — tickets, bookings, and everything else in one place
- Hotel amenity symbols — see at a glance if breakfast or laundry is included
- Transportation — car rental, train, bus, ferry, and taxi together
- Full currency conversion — buy in one currency, see it in yours
- Tours — day, bus, private, and free time, including stopovers
- Cruises — departure and arrival ports plus ports of call
- Document management — store, view, and renew passports, visas, insurance, and vaccinations
- Calendar view — zoom in and out of any day or event
- AI packing list — personalised to destination, activities, and season
- Trip cost report — total, per-person, and what's still owing
The Travel Planner isn't trying to replace spontaneous exploration or be an all-singing, all-dancing agency in your pocket. It's a quiet companion built to take the friction out of planning. It's still evolving, and every trip teaches me a little more. If trip logistics have ever overwhelmed you, I hope it brings some ease to your next adventure.

Absolutely fab I love the concept and the fact it grew from the gap you found while traveling yourself. I can hear your passion and its very obviously well thought out with so many layers. I am starting my own Private Host and Luxury Tour business in Dublin, Ireland. Next time you are traveling why not put Ireland on the wish list and give me a shout. Well done and wishing you every success with it, Lisa
P.S. I am very new to this Travel Massive and still building my profile but I am blown away by peoples innovativeness...
Thank you for your possitive reply. I am now contemplating building a tour guides version. I believe that by having a solution that allows you keep control of your tours, your guests, travel needs etc all in one place will have a great impact.
Travel Massive is new to me as well and i welcome the inclusiveness that the willingness of other to spur me on.
Ireland is definitly on my bucket list.
Best Wishes
Larry
I'll be very interested in seeing what that looks like. I had a look at your Profile just there I wasn't even aware I could do that, talk about a newbie.. I'm fascinated to have conversations with people, like yourself, share ideas and insights.
I've only just built my website from scratch I started on Friday. I'm so proud of this, while I'm tech savvy (self thought) I never in a million years believed I would master something like that but perseverance and passion drive it. I'm so glad I did it myself but I would love you to have a look at it and give me some feedback if you had time. Its aimed at the US market at present as I've good connections there etc. Good to connect, Lisa
Interesting concept, especially having bookings and itinerary in one place. For me, the real test would be how simple it stays when planning a complex multi-city trip. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.
Hi Ihsan, thanks for your comments. The .
Travel Planner was built for multiple complex wishestrips which is why it caters for so many facets of trips.
I want to clarify one very important point from another post you made about my product.
The Travel Planner is not a booking and itinerary manager. It is itinerary manager designed to stand alone or to be used in conjunction with a travel planner
I'd like to invite you to sign up for the free trial and perhaps review my product.
Thank you and best wishes
Larry
The Travel Planner
Hi Larry,
Thank you for the clarification — I appreciate it. I understand the distinction now and agree that it’s important to describe The Travel Planner accurately.
I’d be happy to sign up for the free trial and explore the product properly. It would be interesting to see how it works in practice, especially for managing more complex trips.
Thanks for the invitation, and I’ll be glad to share my thoughts after I’ve had a chance to use it.
Best wishes,
Ihsan
Ihsan, I can tell you are a very good man. I can't wait to get to Greece one day. It wont be long
Thank you, Larry, I really appreciate that. I hope you make it to Greece soon — I’m sure you’ll love it. And when you do, I’d be happy to share a few places worth discovering beyond the usual spots.
When planning a road trip, finding the route and distance is easy. What I always found more difficult was understanding the real cost of the journey, especially when travelling across different countries where fuel prices can change significantly.
That is why I started building FuelWide.
The idea is simple: you enter where you are travelling from and where you are going, select your fuel type and add your vehicle's fuel consumption. FuelWide then calculates the driving route and estimates:
- the driving distance
- the amount of fuel required
- the estimated fuel cost
- the cost of the complete journey
I wanted it to be more useful than a basic distance multiplied by fuel price calculator.
FuelWide can work with petrol, diesel and electric vehicles, show fuel or charging stops along the route, and compare fuel prices between countries so travellers can understand where it may make more sense to refuel.
For example, if you are driving through several countries in Europe, the difference in fuel prices can have a noticeable impact on the total cost of the trip. Instead of checking different websites manually, the goal is to bring this information together as part of the route-planning process.
The bigger idea behind FuelWide is to make fuel price data useful for real travel decisions.
I don't want it to be just another website showing the current price per litre or gallon. I want people to be able to understand what those prices actually mean for their trip, whether that is a weekend drive, a summer holiday, a camper trip or a longer road trip across several countries.
I am also exploring how this could be useful for travel bloggers, camper and motorhome communities, tourism websites and itinerary creators. For example, a travel guide could show a route and allow readers to instantly estimate how much it would cost them to drive it with their own vehicle.
🚗 Take a look and try it out at FuelWide.com
FuelWide is still growing and I would really appreciate feedback from people working in travel.
Where in the trip-planning journey do you think a tool like this would be most useful?
Would fuel cost alone be enough, or would things like tolls, charging costs, border fees and suggested refuelling locations also be useful?
Really useful idea for road trips. Does FuelWide also account for tolls and different fuel prices along the route, especially when crossing countries?
Thanks, Ihsan! Yes, FuelWide accounts for different fuel prices in each country along the route, using published national averages, and
helps identify where refuelling could save money.
Toll coverage is partial: it includes motorway passes (vignettes) for six European countries, including Bulgaria, Austria and Slovenia, but
distance-based tolls aren’t included yet. Those gaps are flagged in the estimate.
Thanks for clarifying, Teo. The country-by-country fuel pricing is especially useful for longer European road trips. Good to know the toll limitations are clearly flagged as well.
Love this and will use it myself for my new business venture as a private tour host and guide in Ireland. Well done and wishing you every success, Lisa
Thank you very much, Lisa! :) I really appreciate your feedback. It means a lot to us!
Fabulous website very easy to use, Lisa

For generations, Ghana has been more than a destination for the African Diaspora. It represents ancestry, identity, heritage, connection and belonging.
The launch of the "Year of Return in 2019", followed by "Beyond the Return", repositioned Ghana’s diaspora tourism strategy from simply inviting people to visit our heritage sites to building a deeper, long-term relationship with the global African Diaspora.
From the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and across the Caribbean, diaspora travellers continue to come to Ghana to reconnect with their roots, experience our culture, explore our heritage and create new memories.
Our castles and forts, festivals and cultural experiences, from Emancipation and PANAFEST to Chale Wote, AfroFuture and December in GH, are helping position Ghana as an increasingly important hub for diaspora tourism.
Ghana transformed a painful history of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade into an opportunity for healing, reconnection, cultural discovery and economic engagement. The response was extraordinary. The Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle and other heritage sites became powerful spaces where visitors could confront history, understand their ancestry and establish a deeper relationship with Africa.
International attention turned towards Ghana. Diaspora travellers, celebrities, entrepreneurs, creatives, academics, families and cultural leaders arrived in significant numbers.
But Ghana recognised that one year could not sustain an entire tourism strategy, that led to "Beyond the Return" a broader, longer-term framework designed to build on the momentum of the Year of Return and deepen the relationship between Ghana and the global African Diaspora.
Ghana’s international tourism market has demonstrated strong recovery since the pandemic, with the United States continuing to be Ghana’s leading international source market.
But the opportunity goes beyond visitor numbers.
Diaspora tourism can create more stories, stronger connections, repeat visits, investment, cultural exchange and lasting relationships between Ghana and the global African Diaspora.
There are deep historical, cultural and economic connections between Ghana 🇬🇭 and the United States 🇺🇸.
The opportunity therefore extends beyond attracting visitors. It is about developing lifelong relationships with the Diaspora:
A first time visitor can become a repeat visitor.
A repeat visitor can become an investor.
An investor can become an ambassador.
And an ambassador can inspire hundreds of others to discover Ghana.
This is how destination marketing becomes destination development. We expect more of our brothers and sisters from the Diaspora to come home.
More stories. More connections. More investment. More cultural exchange.
Have you made it home yet? And if so, what brought you back?
